10 BOWNESS. 



During the season, which extends from May to 

 November, the charges are two shillings for break- 

 fast, (including meat, fish, &c.,) two 

 in* chabges. shmings and sixpence for dinner ; and 



one shilling and sixpence for tea. A private sitting- 

 room is charged two shillings and sixpence per 

 day. Nothing can well exceed the beauty of the 

 view from the garden seats of the Crown. 



Bowness has recently added to its attractions a 

 very excellent model of the District, made and now 



exhibited by Mr. Howe. This model 

 M °msTEi P cT ME well deserves careful inspection, and 



its owner, from his intimate know- 

 ledge of every part of the district, is able to 

 give valuable advice to tourists who wish to see 

 the country thoroughly. No better commencement 

 can be made than a consultation with Mr. Howe 

 over his accurate model. 



The* old churchyard of Bowness, with its dark 

 yews, and the old weather-worn church, long and 



low, is the most venerable object in 

 bowness ^he place. The chancel window of the 



church contains painted glass from 

 Furness Abbey. The tomb of Bishop Watson will 

 be found in the churchyard, near the east window. 

 The rectory, which is hardly less venerable than 

 the church, stands at a considerable distance from 

 the village, and is approached through fields and a 

 garden. The old-fashioned porch is there, of which 

 this is said to be the last remaining instance in 

 the whole district, — the roomy, substantial porch, 

 with benches on each side, long enough to hold a 

 little company of parishioners, and a round ivy- 

 clad chimney immediately surmounting the porch.
